After seeing off Mister Zuo, Lu Yao hurriedly set aside the Secret Manual and took out the Stone Lion and the Dragon Pattern Mirror, setting up his stall to absorb the "Yan Huang Willpower".
Being an inherently uplifting Positive Willpower, its concentration, after being diluted through two cycles of transfer, was just right for Lu Yao's current level of cultivation. Moreover, with the aid of the Dragon Pattern Mirror and the Ice Jade Bracelet, absorbing it directly no longer caused any side effects.
What he was doing now was not completely breaking through to a new realm, since his Divine Soul had not yet manifested.
But with the massive support of the Yan Huang Willpower, he could certainly, like Hong Renkun had done, temporarily borrow the power of the Divine Manifestation of the Holy Realm.
This method had been severely criticized by Daoist Zhou He as one of the ancient heretical arts. Though it could grant immense power, the practitioner would definitely suffer backlash.
